London Donjoir Harris, a 23-year-old man from Cincinnati, Ohio, tragically lost his life on April 9, 2022. Harris was shot and killed outside Babe's Café in the Westwood neighborhood of Cincinnati around 1:30 a.m. The incident occurred following a fight that started inside the bar and spilled outside. Harris was with a friend when the altercation broke out, and while his friend survived with non-life-threatening injuries, Harris succumbed to his injuries.
The fight reportedly began
after someone accidentally bumped into another person in line. The bar, Babe's Café, had a history of violence and had been the scene of multiple shootings in the past. Cincinnati City Council had formally objected to the bar's liquor license due to the high volume of police calls and incidents involving drug trafficking. Despite the bar's management claiming efforts to address the issues, the final decision on the liquor license was pending with the Ohio Liquor Control Commission.
As of now, the investigation into Harris's death is ongoing, and the police are still searching for the killer. No arrests have been made, and the case remains unsolved. Harris's family and friends held a vigil to honor his memory and called for the closure of Babe's Café, citing its history of violence and the impact on the community.
The loss of London Harris has deeply affected his family and the community, and his loved ones continue to seek justice for his untimely death.
